Mixed Primary Church of England
1.4/10 Well below average

226th of 230 primary schools in Oxfordshire we can score, 244 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Narrow the comparison to the 4,278 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.6/10 among them, against 1.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

How this is worked out
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 34.0 · 5 62% 0.29
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 3.0 · 29 38% 1.13

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 34.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.6 out of 10 among them, against 1.4 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Art Club and an after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 313 pupils in a capacity of 315 places, leaving just 2 spare spots. With so few vacancies, securing a place is likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the school manage admissions when demand exceeds the 315 available places?
